How you do your explanation is amazing. An earth-shattering simplification of the two methods delivered by a great cool voice!

[@indianarchangel]

I took a loan to pay for my college tuition to teach me this and what's worse is that they didn't teach it half as good as you. Thanks a ton, Luis!

[@oopsthathappened3168]

Easily the clearest explanation of the two clustering concepts. Thank you!

[@farazrizvi416]

I can't believe how simple and easy to understand you made clustering. Thank you Luis!

[@RobinsonGames]

You're really good at explaining concepts

[@hilaav7449]

You are great! The way you simplify and the examples you give are so memorable- Thank you!

[@nicolechen9367]

You explained these theories by examples which are super clear! Thanks a lot! Keep updating more videos. Really helpful!

[@yizhongzhang1288]

Thank you! Your video saves my final exam! I had struggled with hierarchical clustering for a pretty long time until I saw your amazing videos today! Big Thank you again!

[@fionamatu4996]

Simple, concise and informative video. All educative videos should be like this.I have subscribed

[@dsaimldl1930]

Amazing video , No one can beat your approach in explaining concepts

[@Kasper-ev3zh]

Great explanation, really helped my understanding of hierarchical clustering and dendrograms!

[@NM-vw6xq]

Thank you so much Luis! Your explanations have been so important for me to learn key concepts whilst in my DS/ML bootcamp. The way you present initial intuition of the algorithms without delving into any of the math and then slowly introducing the principles is brilliant! Other courses can't wait to throw all the math on you from the very beginning, getting you lost before you could ever start to learn. Your animations are also much appreciated!

[@disurawarusawithana3957]

You make dreadful theories amazingly simple! Thank you very much for the great explanations AND the super-cool animations!!! Keep up!

[@MagicalBlissfulSunrise]

Amazingly composed, a much simpler and understandable version, Hats off Luis, loved it, thanks.

[@Mars7822]

Your explanations are just so easy to understand and brilliant..........

[@FahrvergnugenTaglich]

Luis, I have been viewing multiple videos to find someone who could explain these concepts with clarity and you nailed it! Thakn you

[@Shahad-ls4xb]

I watched a lot of videos explaining k-mean but none of them give me a great and easy way to understand what is meant as you did! thank you for this video

[@korean4130]

I always start watching your video with liking it. Thank you so much!

[@bradmorse6320]

This is by far the best explanation of the elbow method I've seen. Thank you!

[@blesucation4417]

Just want to leave a comment so that more people could learn from your amazing videos! Many thanks for the wonderful and fun creation!!!

[@CubChef]

Thank you for making this video. This is so visual and it makes it so easy to understand.

[@debjyotidas]

Thanks a lot for the simple way that you have explained the concepts of K-means Clustering and Hierarchical Clustering. The K-means Clustering examples with pizza parlor locations such that each person is going to go the nearest to them and every pizza parlor should be located at the center of the houses that it serves is simply awesome. Also the example using dendogram for Hierarchical Clustering is so cool and easy to understand.

[@devtest8078]

I've studied the topic for a minute. This is the best explanation/analogy I have ever come across. Subscribed!

[@oussamaoussama6364]

Underrated channel, great explanation.
